Bulgarian FMs and Army officials call for military support to Ukraine

Days before the NATO summit in Madrid at the end of June, four Bulgarian foreign ministers and six military officials called on the Bulgarian authorities to declare a stance on providing arms and ammunition to Ukraine. 

The ten also insisted on an enhanced forward deployment of NATO forces in the country, priority adoption of an adequately funded rearmament and motivation programme for service personnel, and urgent countermeasures to Russia's information warfare campaigns in Bulgaria. 

The statement also calls for guarantees that the unfolding political crisis will not have a negative impact on the defence sector. Solomon Passy, Ekaterina Zaharieva, Boyko Noev, Anu Angelov, Nikolay Nenchev and others are among those who made the urgent appeal.
